 an elongated neck band having a plurality of V-shaped slits successively connected in a W-shape or a zigzag shape at each end of the band and wearable around a neck of a living body, 
 wherein the cloth protection piece is attachable to the neck band through the slits by inserting a portion of the cloth protection piece therethrough using a single finger such that the inserted portion of the cloth protection piece is held in a common aperture through frictional resistance therebetween, and 
 wherein the portion of the elongated neck band having the slits is made from an elastic material to allow easy insertion of the finger therethrough and easy restoration of the slit shape after removal of the finger. 
 
   
   
     2. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the neck band is made from an elastic material including at least a highly polymerized compound or plastics. 
   
   
     3. A napkin holder for holding a cloth protection piece, the napkin holder comprising:
 a first neck band having a first fixing hole provided at one end portion and a first joint loop provided at the other end portion of the first neck band; and 
 a second neck band having a second fixing hole provided at one end portion and a second joint loop provided at the other end portion of the second neck band, 
 wherein the cloth protection piece is attachable to the first and the second neck bands respectively through the first or the second fixing hole by inserting a portion of the cloth protection piece therethrough using a single finger such that the inserted portion of the cloth protection piece is held in a common aperture through frictional resistance therebetween, 
 wherein the first neck band is inserted into the second joint loop and the second neck band is inserted into the first joint loop, and 
 wherein the portions of the first and the second neck bands having the first or the second fixing hole are made from an elastic material to allow easy insertion of the finger therethrough and easy restoration of the hole shapes of the first and the second fixing holes after removal of the finger. 
 
   
   
     4. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first and the second fixing holes are composed of a plurality of slits radially extending from a common aperture formed at the end portions, respectively. 
   
   
     5. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein each slit is formed in a shape of wave or zigzag. 
   
   
     6. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first and the second fixing holes are composed of a V-shaped slit, respectively. 
   
   
     7. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the first and the second fixing holes are composed of two or more V-shaped slits successively connected in a W-shape or a zigzag shape, respectively. 
   
   
     8. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first and the second fixing holes are formed in a shape of a line. 
   
   
     9. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first and the second neck bands are made from an elastic material including at least a highly polymerized compound or plastics. 
   
   
     10. The napkin holder as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first neck band includes a first uneven portion formed between the first fixing hole and the first joint loop, and the second neck band includes a second uneven portion formed in accordance with the first uneven portion between the second fixing hole and the second joint loop, the second uneven portion facing the first uneven potion. 
   
   
     11. The napkin holder as claimed  claim 10 , wherein the first and the second uneven portions are positioned adjacent to the first and the second joint loops, respectively.
